((((Music Rules Me))))

I sat in my T's office just yesterday, swiping at tears and saying, "But it just hurts so much." It's pain that we all must deal with, MRM, & it does hurt.

I'm glad you're posting. A different "it" for you & me but the pain & the hurt--I think that's probably universal.

As for the Grand Scheme of Things...
I don't live in any Grand Scheme, I live in the Here and Now ... this moment! So do you. So it is a big thing. It's a very big thing.

Pain, when we experience it, can expand to fill every aspect of our present time and place.

You might want to cross-post this over on the Relationship Forum, Music Rules Me. It's not an unknown happening, and someone may have some wise counsel.
